Rose Valley Thorns at SOhO with Will Breman Band!

The Rose Valley Thorns, with their youthful energy and eclectic musical influences, are pushing forward on the front of progressive bluegrass and modern folk while paying homage to the old legends of classic genres. The stunningly beautiful Rose Valley lies in the mountains above the creative community of Ojai, California, a place which has inspired and nurtured the individual and collective artists that

The Rose Valley Thorns have become. With aspects of jazz, ragtime, classical, rock, folk, country, and most importantly bluegrass, the Thorns have created a sound that is truly unique and refreshing.

Joshua Bergmann began this musical endeavor when he and his brother Jared Bergmann began performing together, with Joshua on the mandolin and Jared on guitar. They share a musical bond that can only be found in brotherhood. That being said, bassist Corey Highberg is no less integral to The Rose Valley Thorns, with his wide array of experiences and his purehigh-reaching tenor harmonies.

The alt-bluegrass band’s self-titled album is out and available for your enjoyment! Recorded in Grammy-Award winning Canyon Hut Studios with Grammy-nominated engineer Chris Reynolds and Grammy-winning Tim Hutton, this project beautifully captures the eclectic combination of fresh innovation and songwriting with homage to the old. These recordings were captured in live takes with vintage microphones so as to represent the authentic expression that the Thorns create with their music.
